SBRI’s scientists come from all around the world, many
who face the devastation of malaria or HIV/AIDS on a daily basis in pandemic
countries. These researchers also train students from throughout the world – the
very people who will carry on our infectious disease research. Currently, there
are scientists from more than a dozen countries training at SBRI.
In 2002, SBRI established a clinical research laboratory at
the Muheza Designated District Hospital and started the International Malaria Research Training Program, which was
awarded to SBRI by the Fogarty International Center at the U.S. National
Institutes of Health. Currently, four Tanzanian scientists are working
towards advanced degrees as part of the program. Each spends a portion of the
year in Seattle, learning the latest in research techniques and technologies to
take back to Tanzania.
